I sure hope UH get to host a first round. Based on RPI, the team deserves it. Based on attendance and passion, the fans deserve it as well.
I may watch from far away, but I was impressed with the fight in your team. Awesome senior leadership and a heck of a job from RAM.
Hooray! I really hope we host. Is this the last RPI before NCAA seeding/hosting selection? I am just assuming since RPI comes out on Monday and the selection is this Sunday, but I could be wrong.
2. this is the last publicly released RPI.
the NCAA will have updated one for use on Sunday.
after all the matches are done, some of theme on Saturday.
I don’t see how Hawaii doesn’t host.
Wahine hold steady to the #18 spot in the latest AVCA coaches poll
4 yep, just updated post. see main blox
Yeah, if Hawaii was borderline at 13-16 I can see POSSIBLY the committee not picking them, but at 11, they are way to much on the inside.
Hope the prices are not too high. Presumably season ticket holders will be offered first.
Just to celebrate how far we have come, what was our ranking and RPI at the beginning of this season?
Sky Williams is BW DPOW and Amber Igiede is BW FPOW this week.
Maia Dvoracek earns her fifth BW POW award of the season.
Great news, Skyler is DPOW and Amber is FOW for the Big West

Bit of a joke IMHO that Iosia wasn’t POW
